Habitat in India orientali. In Mus. D. W. W. Saunders, F.L.S. 



Mr. Gould exhibited to the Meeting fine specimens, male and fe- 

 male, of the Macropus laniger of Quoy and Gaimard, and a species of 

 Hypsiprymnus nearly allied to the H. minor, but which differs con- 

 siderably in the form of the skull, and especially in having the muzzle 

 broader, the sides being swollen ; it also differs from H. minor in 

 having the tail and tarsi proportionally shorter. This species being 

 new, Mr. Gould characterized it as follows, under the name 



Hypsiprymnus Gilbertii. Hyps, colore corporis superne e cine- 

 reo, fusco, nigroque commixtis, lined nigrescente a naso ductd cum 

 colore frontis se intermiscente ; corpore subtus e cinereo albo.
